The Cincinnati Bengals lost Super Bowl LVI to the Los Angeles Rams, and there were myriad reasons that can be attributed for their defeat.
Among them ...
Giving up seven sacks.
Not stopping the Rams on their final drive.
Punting four straight times in the second half.
Here's another one we can't forget: Winning the turnover battle ? by two, no less! ? and not taking better advantage of it.
Matthew Stafford threw two interceptions, and the Bengals turned those into a combined three points. The Bengals did not give the ball away all game.
Bengals coach Zac Taylor agrees that the turnover advantage should have played in their favor more.
If there's ever a game where the turnover margin has been a big deal historically, it's the Super Bowl. The Rams became just the third team in 56 such games to lose the turnover battle by two or more and win. (Even teams that were minus-1 in the turnover margin were a mere 4-8 in Super Bowl history.)
THIS STUPID play in Bengals 1st possesion LOST the Game going for it on 4th n 1 at Rams 49 yard line
Rams took it down scored TD to go up 7 -0 I never saw any team go for 4th n 1 in 1st quarter in any SB
